Chapter 676: The Location marked on the Star Map
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
Black Fog Sea, Monarch Residence, underground palace.
Xue Ying was currently pondering over the avatar technique created by his teacher.
‘Ultra-Miniature Cosmos?’ Xue Ying flipped his hand. A dark silvery water droplet substance appeared. He then sent the luminous sun force from his body into the droplet. At that moment, some markings began emerging on the surface of that droplet. The markings were currently revolving, distorting some small regions around it–Primal Chaos was starting to form.
The unseen Primal Chaos shrouded over this small region.
This region was entirely detached from the external world; even karma was isolated from it. The operating laws of the cosmos could not sense the area at all.
‘It is consuming my luminous sun force too quickly!’ Xue Ying was slightly astonished.
‘This Primal Chaos?’ Xue Ying thought. He formed a World Deity avatar. The World Deity avatar directly entered the Primal Chaos. The moment it contacted it, his avatar was hindered from moving forward.
And just as his avatar exerted force–approximately a stage two World Deity’s strength, his avatar penetrated through this layer of Primal Chaos.
“Pu.”
It was like entering a layer of a membrane; the World Deity avatar could see a vast palace hall within it. This underground palace was used for cultivation, and naturally, it would be huge. The ‘Ultra-Miniature Cosmos’ had enveloped just a small section of it.
‘If that small region is the Ultra-Miniature Cosmos, then I have just rushed out of the cosmos?’ The World Deity avatar revealed a grin. Even though he could not sense this avatar of his, he could still feel the white-robed true body located in the material realm! It was because their souls came from the same source, and thus, his World Deity avatar could still maintain its existence. If the two bodies could not sense each other, then that World Deity avatar would not be able to support its life.
…
Xue Ying carefully studied the ‘Cosmos Stone Heart’. He eventually ascertained that it only had a single function–to open an ‘Ultra-Miniature Cosmos’. Furthermore, this Ultra-Miniature Cosmos could merely hide from the ‘Cosmos operating laws and probe methods’. Its defenses were meager too!
‘That’s right. When Teacher has refined this Cosmos Stone Heart, it is only for the sake of allowing me to refine an avatar. If there are other functions, the price will be greater.’ Xue Ying understood this point, ‘But it consumes a huge amount of energy. With the luminous sun force and World Deity energy within my body, I can’t maintain for the time taken to brew a cup of tea. By then, I’ll have to prepare myself well to cultivate the second avatar with the shortest period of time.’
Xue Ying kept the Cosmos Stone Heart and began comprehending the avatar technique.
This avatar technique was something only the ‘Bloodshed God-Emperor’ had in this Cultivator Cosmos. The difficulty of cultivating it was extremely high, but it would assist him more than any other absolute arts the moment he succeeded.
******
As Xue Ying was teaching his disciples and training in the avatar technique, right in a small courtyard within the wooden house located in ‘Bloodshed God Palace’.
“Bloodshed, you came over to find me the moment the Myriad Flower Feast ended?” Primal Master chuckled.
Bloodshed God-Emperor nodded, “I require a piece of ‘Black Water God Metal’, and this is something only you have.”
“We had three pieces of Black Water God Metal in the past, yet you have used them all already?” Primal Master was astonished. The two of them had visited a somewhat mysterious location. The degree of danger there was not any less than the Lake Heart Island. The two of them worked together and eventually discovered a unique metal, which they termed as ‘Black Water God Metal’. They split half each.
“Naturally I’ve finished them. Otherwise, why would I come seeking for you.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said.
“But it is essential for me too.” Primal Master shook his head.
“My clan master is using it for the sake of the entire Cultivator Cosmos.” The black bird shouted out from the shoulder of God-Emperor.
Primal Master was in doubt: “What are you planning to use it for?”
“Three pieces of Black Water God Metal have been analyzed and dissected by me. Eventually, I gained some understanding of them. Using it and the Cosmos Furnace as two extremes in an array, I can construct the ‘Void Twin Extreme Array’.” Bloodshed God-Emperor explained, “Borrowing on this array, we can use it to probe through the void of the cosmos. It is the most formidable scouting technique that I could think of, and I want to search through every single area within those ten starfields for the base of the Ancestor Mother Religion. I should be able to complete in scouting the entire area in a few dozen million years.”
Primal Master’s eyes brightened, “This is good news. I’ll naturally help you.” The moment he finished saying it, Primal Master’s expression suddenly changed as he turned to Bloodshed God-Emperor, “This array is called the Void Twin Extreme Array?”
“Mn.” Bloodshed God-Emperor gently nodded.
“Are you breaking through soon?” Primal Master asked.
“Not yet. I have just touched upon the boundary.” Bloodshed God-Emperor mentioned.
Primal Master laughed as he shook his head, “It is very amazing for you to touch the boundary already. You have walked further than us. Previously, I have thought of competing with you, yet now it seems that I am slower than you for sure.”
Bloodshed God-Emperor laughed heartily, “Our cosmos epoch is still quite early. It is entirely possible for I and you to step across that last step. The third cosmos epoch could have ‘Lake Heart Island master’ and ‘Ancestor Devil’, so why can’t our eighth cosmos epoch? I don’t believe in it!”
“Haha, that’s right. Everything is possible!” Primal Master was similarly arrogant. He was after all the very first Ruler of this cosmos epoch.
Primal Master stood up. He casually threw out an item.
One could see that it was a black metal piece.
But that black metal piece was emitting a frosty aura that caused the surrounding void to collapse. This cold aura had even condensed into a black water droplet which revolved around it. The void was continuously falling, recovering and falling again.
“I’ve given it to you.” Primal Master said, “There will naturally be a piece of me in the goal towards extinguishing the Ancestor Mother Religion.”
Primal Master left after saying it.
Bloodshed God-Emperor took over that piece of ‘Black Water God Metal’. He was originally thinking of exchanging it with other treasures, but he knew the temper of Primal Master–since he said he was ‘giving it’, he would not accept anything.
‘Ancestor Mother Religion.’ Bloodshed God-Emperor glanced at the floating black metal piece before revealing an expectant look, ‘I set my mind at rest if I don’t eliminate you outsiders who have taken root in our cosmos.’
…
In the blink of an eye, it had been over 100,000 years since the Myriad Flower Feast.
“Xue Ying, how long will you be leaving for?” Jing Qiu walked next to Xue Ying.
“Uncertain.” Xue Ying replied.
“Where are you going?” Jing Qiu asked.
“I’ve experienced the trials of the Three Devil Palaces, and have once obtained a star map. I am thinking of following the map.” Xue Ying explained, “It is hard to predict if I’ll obtain fortune or disaster, but I believe I’ll be able to protect myself with my power.”
He could not form his avatar within this short period.
He had consolidated his Dao of Slaughter, and both disciples had reached an alright standard under his guidance. ‘Mo Chong Yun’ grasped hold of the Substance Deity Heart in 80,000 years, becoming a stage two World Deity. Xue Ying was quite satisfied with this disciple of his after years of observation, making him his personal disciple and began pouring resources to grooming him. As for ‘Jia Yun’, he was more amazing. After 7,000 years of accepting him as a teacher, he comprehended the grade one Deity Heart ‘Creation Deity Heart’, and after 99,000 years, he grasped hold of the ‘Extremity Deity Heart’. Adding up the time… he had grasped hold of a grade one Deity Heart in just 15,000 years. His other disciple, Mo Chong Yang, had cultivated for 32,000 years when he participated in the God Palace Battle, thus, showing that Jia Yun had grasped hold of a grade one Deity Heart earlier on.
The talents of both disciples were similar and great. After being guided by Xue Ying, their speed of cultivation was much faster.
Xue Ying had also received Jia Yun as his personal disciple–the third disciple of his.
The disciples were improving very quickly. It was also time for him to pay a visit to those locations marked on the mysterious star map. After all, it was a treasure he got for passing through the trials of the Three Devil Palaces and was left behind by Ancestor Devil. There was even a possibility of getting an Ancient Demon if one’s luck was good! He had just gotten a piece of paper, and this paper was an ancient star map.
Regardless what, he would have to check it out.
******
Before going, Xue Ying first returned to the material realm and kept his True God weapon Devil Blade, the Cosmos Stone and other important treasures that could not help him at all. Only then did he leave.
‘Moon Star, Sun Star, Lake Heart Island, Six Heavenly Wheel…’
It was the eighth cosmos epoch currently. There was a considerable difference between what was shown on that ancient star map and the current cosmos.
But some remained unchanged.
The Six Heavenly Wheel, Lake Heart Island, Sun Star and Moon Star would forever be present! Even if the new cosmos epoch began, the Dark Abyss, Sun Star, Moon Star and others would only reform.
‘Using them as a reference, the location marked on the star map is pointing to a region within the territory of Temporal Island in our current cosmos.’ Xue Ying was flying very quickly using the time-space tunnel. Soon, he arrived at a vast void.
He knew after seeing it that the marked location was within the void, but because it had been too long, the position which he ascertained was slightly vague–there was an error of about a few hundred billion kilometers.
“Hong.”
He began releasing his senses and controlled the World energy to sweep across the place.
With his current attainment in the World aspect, he could cover a full 500 million kilometers with his senses in a blink of an eye.
